"A great triathlon shoe that I have ridden with and without socks comfortably. Quick in and out of transition because of the top strap tab and the heel loop. Super light and sharp looking."sesh
Quality of Construction
Super light, but feels really sturdy in the pedals. The stictching has held up well, as has the mesh on top of the toes.
Fit
If you have a wide foot, however, this is not the shoe for you.
Comfort
This shoe feels better than my road shoes, and I often wear it instead.
Durability
Have made it through one tri season with no visible deterioration other than getting kinda dirty.
Value
By far the most I have ever paid for a pair of shoes, but it has been worth it. If I can get another 3-4 years out of them, then it will have been a steal.
Appearance
See the pics. I love white shoes, and the red and black are pretty sweet. You may have to do some searching for the white, though, as the '08 models might only come in silver.
Performance
Quicker in T1 and much more comfortable on the bike with these shoes.
Strengths
Sharp looking, comfortable, quick on and off, extremely light.
Weakness
None so far.
Ease of use
Has a notch on the thick top strap to hold the velcro open. Slides on easily with a heel strap, then just pull the velcro down and you're ready to go.
